"The general trend is mine, give me ten years, and the world will be very different in ten years!" Serov, who had been poured chicken soup for the soul by his wife all night, regained his self-confidence again, and after Valya put on his dark blue military coat, looking at the woman in front of him, Serov couldn't help but touch the soft blonde hair and bowed his head and kissed his wife's cheek, "I want you to live a good life, let our country, the people have dignity, the society must be stable, people understand the meaning of kindness but will not compromise unprincipledly, I can do it?" ”

"Of course you can do it, you are the first deputy chairman of the National Security Council and a member of the NKVD, you are the commander of the Internal Guard, what are you afraid of? The entire Soviet police are in your hands, you are a security cadre and an internal affairs cadre, you have the right to make proposals in any department of our country, my husband is only thirty-four years old this year, what reason do I have to believe that this is the end of our ideals! Valya also held Serov's head, and the look in her words believed him more than Serov herself.

If Khrushchev and Brezhnev's level of governance are really compared, perhaps Brezhnev's report card is better than Khrushchev's, anyway, in Serov's view, the problems of the past year have shown that Khrushchev's level is really limited, and Brezhnev at least did not have so many problems.

There is another reason, the split between China and the Soviet Union was buried from the Khrushchev era, if Brezhnev was in power, China and the Soviet Union would not be split at all, very simply, Brezhnev's character is different from Khrushchev, if Brezhnev was in power, he would not criticize Stalin at all, China and the Soviet Union would not exist because of the cause of the dispute in this regard, and with Brezhnev's character, he would not be keen on debate, and he would directly play the national strength crushing that Serov said, and close his mouth and send the KGB to compete for influence. Khrushchev may have been better than Brezhnev only in terms of discipline. But the key discipline cannot be eaten as a meal, and there are so many problems in Khrushchev's governance of the country, how long will people endure it?

This year he can use the KGB to suppress the problems of 1960, but if the problems continue to arise next year, how long can Serov be a firefighter? If it weren't for the fact that the Sherepin group he belonged to was really unsure of Brezhnev, Serov would also be a member of the Dnipro gang. Absolutely without saying a word, immediately correspond to Brezhnev and push Khrushchev down to repair relations with China. But he was not, he was a member of the Sherepin clique that Brezhnev did not like.

If he had been from Brezhnev's side, the question of the split of China and the USSR would have been well resolved. In turn, he maintained loyalty to Khrushchev, and the problem of the tenure of cadres in the USSR was easily solved. What is more embarrassing is that these two fucked problems cannot be solved at the same time, and the lifelong system of subordinate Brezhnev cadres will come, and the maintenance of Khrushchev's relations between China and the Soviet Union will become worse and worse, and both of these issues are very important.

Even Serov gave Khrushchev a vaccination in advance. With Khrushchev's temper, he probably couldn't hold back for too long and ordered the USSR to refute. If Brezhnev's character had been much easier, he would probably have pretended not to see the criticism.

Khrushchev can be said to have given Serov plenty of time to prepare, a full year. The 22nd Party Congress will be held at this time next year, and a year will allow Serov to do a lot of things, he wants to preserve Stalin's body, and in order to prepare for the future, Khrushchev's anti-Stalin is doomed to failure. The Soviet Union also had only the great prestige of Stalin's victory over the Third Reich suitable as a link between the people. First of all, the first step is to ask the people of the General Administration of Technology to make a crystal coffin. It is a copy of Stalin's crystal coffin, which must be done slowly, especially not to be known to Khrushchev.

Serov, who was busy all day, moved home the benefits of this foreign purchase, after all, he couldn't let his wife always wash clothes by hand, and he was reluctant to watch his wife live a hard life as a husband, so he transported a bunch of electrical appliances to the villa in large bags. After moving things, Valya made a few cups of coffee for a few fighters to rest, and then pulled Serov aside and asked, "Yuri, is it too ostentatious?" You just didn't have long to become First Vice President......"

"What a person enjoys is called privilege. It is called welfare that can be enjoyed by all. Don't worry, sooner or later Italy will be infiltrated into a sieve by me, and sooner or later we will all be able to get these products out. Next year, the main direction of the KGB will shift to the Asia-Pacific region, Japan is the area we focus on, the Primorsky region is recruiting Koreans, and I want all the technology! Serov comforted his wife, "Even if it's a roll of toilet paper, I have to figure out why other people's are so soft." ”

"What a metaphor this is, it's dirty!" Valya pushed her husband in disgust and didn't say anything more. These household appliances were for her, and when she was from Ukraine, Serov did not return once a month, and lived directly at the headquarters, where there were several secretaries to take care of him. In other words, Serov didn't need these things at all, and if she hadn't returned to Moscow, maybe these appliances would have been given to someone else.

"This year's benefits to the KGB cost a total of 60 million, involving 200,000 agents!" Serov said in a low voice.

Seeing Valya's small mouth grow, considering that there were still others at home, Serov resisted the desire to kiss Fangze.

Of course, with the steady arrival of cadres from the State Security Council in Moscow and the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs officially known as the NKVD, Serov's work eyes have been temporarily pulled back from abroad, and the primary problem as an anti-anti-worker is to solve the hidden dangers in the country, not that Serov likes the name of anti-worker so much, but this name has never changed, what security cadres and internal affairs cadres are called when facing other departments, and the internal communication of the KGB system, He has always been a self-proclaimed anti-rebel worker.

Since Beria's death, the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has deteriorated, most of the original responsibilities have been replaced by the KGB, and the KGB has become the most powerful department in the Soviet Union, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has become a second-level department, which has become a department influenced by the KGB like the GRU, the GRU is responsible for intelligence and special operations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs maintains social security, and the KGB intervenes in the work of the entire Soviet Union in an all-pervasive manner. Also on the day of the creation of the KGB began to turn into the Internal Affairs Forces of the USSR State Security Council.

On 4 November, the National Congress of Security and Security Cadres of the Soviet Union was held, which was the largest gathering of a single department of the Soviet Union, and there is no doubt that this congress reflected the powerful power of the KGB after the re-annexation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The head of the General Directorate of Internal Affairs of the major cities, the commander of the border military district of the KGB, the commander of the internal guard forces of the KGB stationed in the major cities, and then the directors of the departments of the major directorates of the KGB, the director of the internal affairs bureau, the representative of the GRU observer, the representative of the garrison, the representative of the enterprise, and the representative of the scientific research unit.

As at last year's congress, not many cadres of the First Directorate were present, also for the sake of secrecy, except that Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky sat alone in the position closest to the rostrum, representing the importance that the First Directorate attached to the congress.

There is another heavyweight present at the meeting today, that is, the number two person who is of course not allowed by the Soviet Union now, the secretary of the Central Committee, Floer? Romanovich? Kozlov, Kozlov attended the national convention on behalf of Khrushchev and expressed the importance that Khrushchev himself attached to the KGB.

After the meeting began, Sherepin first stood up and applauded Kozlov's arrival on behalf of the KGB, and the 3,000 security and internal affairs cadres in the audience gave a standing ovation to express their support and admiration for Kozlov.

This is the first time Serov has seen Kozlov's true face, this Soviet No. 2 person who almost crushed Brezhnev to death, in fact, looks very much like a person, that is, Chernenko, who often follows Brezhnev, I don't know if it is because of this reason that Kozlov is very unkind to Brezhnev? Serov still thought undisciplinedly.

Kozlov's treatment of political opponents is not new at all, at least Serov, a member of the KGB, is not unfamiliar at all, because Kozlov's methods are a softer purge, and it can be said that the second-in-command of the Soviet Union is his and Sherepin's direct superior. After Kozlov finished speaking to all the KGB personnel, Sherepin first thanked Comrade Kozlov for coming here in his busy schedule, expressed his support for the party and the state for security work, and so on, and then began the national congress on security and public order issues.

"As Chairman Sherepin said, after the merger of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, our work has become heavier, but this is also the trust of the party and the state in us, and I have some opinions on the issue of law and order. Everyone knows that the stability of a society is the basic condition for the development of the country, and we will absolutely not tolerate criminals, and it seems from the report of the General Directorate of Internal Affairs that the law and order situation this year is higher than in previous years, and this is true of the whole Union! We must not tolerate the arrogance of criminals, socialist countries, there is no soil for the existence of gangsters, find one to eliminate the other ......" Serov said viciously in the direction of the NKVD cadres, knowing that he is the direct boss of the internal affairs cadres, Serov's attitude shows the importance he attaches to the issue of public order.
